G&G CM16 Raider L - Compatibility

[ImTriggerHappy]

Thinking maybe it's worth spending a bit more, and going with the CM16 SRL, fitting 9' picatinny down the sides and underneath, then I don't have to worry about the ergo grip, flip sights etc.

But jumping from a £120 raider L to a £220 SRL is a bit steep!

To be honest, I'm just getting impatient because I seem to own everything I could possibly want, except a primary weapon lol

What kind of person would show up to a skirmish with a rig, couple of optics, vertical grip, picatinny 600LM flashlight, 4 mags, flashbangs, smokes, sidearm and mags, full multicam operator loadout but no main weapon?

Oy vey.

Just think if you hadn't wasted all your money on looking the part you could buy a decent gun. The only gear that matters in airsoft is eyepro and weapon.I agree with your point about its all about having fun but that fun should come from the enjoyment of playing the game and not how you look.

I personally would if I am honest take the piss out of someone who turned up at a skirmish like that because its like some weird military cross dresser.

Your £120 Raider "needs" £70+ spent on it as well as being hacksawed so voiding its warranty to look how you wnt it to look so really you are just adding £30 to the cost and ending up with a better gun.I can only hope you are trolling us re all the gear you say you have, could have got yourself that SR25 if you hadn't spunked it all on that lot!

A waste of £600 either way.

I wish I was trolling you too. I've just spent so many months trying to work out the best option for my first primary, I've ended up getting all the other stuff bit by bit in the meantime. It just seems whenever I finally decide on something, someone pops up and says "get this instead". Then when I look at that, another person pops up and says "get this instead".

Sick and tired of it now, just want to get a decent gun that I'm happy to shoot, happy to look at and happy to hold, and be done with it.

A waste of £600 either way.

I never play CQB, I don't want a compact CQB gun. I don't want to spend any more than I have to, so I'm giving up on the whole metal ris over keymod bullcrap. If it's polymer, it's polymer.

I don't want a bullpup.

I want a nice pistol grip, and there's bonus points on accuracy. High ROF is pointless, I spend pretty much my whole time on semi.

If it's over £200, it's not happening. Doesn't matter if it's £1 over or £100 over. If it starts with a 2 or above, I'm not getting it.

I have spoken.

I would personally get the m16 that was posted up , the handle Un screws in seconds and reveals plenty of rail space on top , it will look the part in terms of DMR and if I'm not mistaken ICS brand have a easier system for changing the spring so will help when you actually want to tune it aswell. If you don't like the stock then swap it for a another same for the hand grip. The solid stock will help in terms of battery space though.

Dont confuse length with accuracy because as shown by the krytac range it means nothing because the PDW is as accurate as the SPR.
My main gun has a 247mm barrel and I will put it against most DMR style guns even with it shooting a 100fps less.

At the end of the day get what you want within the price you want to pay because its your toy gun, just don't buy it for the wrong reasons.

As for nice pistol grip, I have a good tip for that.

Get some Amalgamation tape from screwfix/B&Q/amazon and make your own grip.

You wrap the tape around the grip like you were wrapping an exhaust on a motorbike.

The tape "fuses" together (or amalgamates as the name implies). And you can layer more on to make grooves for your fingers etc.

It takes a bit of practice mind.

But if it goes wrong it doesn't have any adhesive on it so it doesn't wreck your gun. It's only held on by the tautness of the tape, fused together.

It's cool stuff - good for around the bottoms of mags to make a rubbery grip and other things too.

Sorry, too expensive because it's £200 to start with, and I'll have to sink more cash into it getting someone to fiddle around installing a buffer tube and collapsable stock, removing the front triangle, it's going to bump the cost way up.

I think I'll go down this route:

Remember I'm going to have to mess about buying batteries and a charger and all that crap too.
